Dr Russell Barkley seems to be pretty against the idea of not taking meds. ADHD affects all parts of your life, and just because you don't have school doesnt mean you dont have ADHD. Your brain works better on the drugs, you can be more responsible, put more effort into your hobbies, and take better care of yourself if youre on your meds.

Unless theyve got some real reason for suggesting that, you should probably get a new dr.

I didn’t realize he was a self-proclaimed misogynist…. That’s crazy

Now I’m just trying to think what this could be an analogy for

I assumed that maybe (since they were colleagues) that they had some sort of training or provided documentation that says “set this proxy to connect”. And a tech literate person would know how, or figure out how to set the proxy. And this user did not.

Second hand office chairs are great. Aerons were hard to come by during the pandemic but I ended up getting a stealcase leap for my wife, and a stealcase Amia for myself. The leap is better, but both are excellent chairs. I think they were $400 and $300 respectively

I got my chair and my wife’s from an office furniture liquidator. They buy in bulk from companies that are going under or just upgrading. There will be some truly abused chairs in the lot, but most of the Herman millers and SteelCase hold up very well.

Look up used office furniture / office furniture liquidators, and get yourself a high quality chair for maybe $300-400 on the high end.

I want to replace my iPhone 11 Pro bc the faceid scanner is broke. (Someone didn’t close the drybag properly and some water got into the phone through the earpiece)

But as annoying as no faceid is, I just can’t fully justify getting a new phone. I tried to get it fixed by apple ($550 for a replacement phone) and by iPad Rehab (said they can’t fix it)

So, idk….

There are cases where sarcasm doesn’t come through, because it’s only clear that it’s either sarcastic or crazy. And there’s a lot of crazy in the internet.

But i did feel this was clearly sarcastic.

Do you want one? Will you use it? Could that money bring you more happiness in the long run used in some other way?

These are the kinds of questions I ask myself before spending >$50, usually prevents me from regret.

This makes sense, I read somewhere recently that there actually is no evidence that people’s attention span is getting shorter, it’s just crap people say.

Yeah, like mounting plates for cameras…. Um, I think that’s the only place I’ve appreciated a slot screw
